Crews Douse Fire At Abandoned NW OKC Apartment Complex

Firefighters responded to another fire at the abandoned
Lantana Apartments at NW 10th St. and Greenvale Rd. Crews quickly extinguished
the fire, which they say was apparently
started in a building that was badly damaged in a fire about a year ago.

Nobody was injured in the fire, those crews exited the
structure when the ceiling began to sag from all the water.

Fire crews said responding to these fires has been a
waste of time and resources, adding that many of the buildings on the ground
should have been torn down a while ago.

All of the entrances into the apartment complex were
padlocked but that was not enough to keep people out.

Firefighters say several homeless people love in the
buildings that still have roofs.
